🌍 UNEP is inviting proposals to strengthen Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance (WES) systems in five African countries, supporting systems for early national uptake on public health, environmental protection and One Health coordination.
💰 Funding: Up to USD 135,000
⏱️ Implementation: 4 months
📅 Deadline: 19 August 2026
🎯 Projects should focus on realistic institutional results that can be achieved within the four-month implementation period.
💚 #IMVELOImpact: Strong environmental surveillance can help countries turn data into earlier action and avoid waiting for when disaster strikes - strengthening public health systems, protecting ecosystems and building more resilient communities.
